Terrell Jermaine Starr, independent journalist, on “Covering the Russian Invasion of Ukraine as a Black Correspondent”
Terrell will talk with Professor Shore about his work in Ukraine, being an independent journalist, his journey of becoming an expert on Ukraine and Eastern European politics and how he is perceived in the region as a Black American.
This talk encapsulates an ongoing book project about the changing ways we engage in politics when public truths cease to be factual, wars are fought digitally, and knowledge is governed by AI. The 21st century was expected by many to be a time of radical, post-historical enlightenment, marked by an increasing velocity of scientific and technological innovation, interconnection, and knowledge sharing.

This talk by Sarah Eisenberg consolidates research about refugee mental health in the aftermath of the current Russo-Ukrainian War with prior epidemiological findings concerning mental health challenges in Ukraine, such as high suicidality, elevated alcohol dependence, and concerning rates of internalizing disorders. She encourages diverse stakeholders - researchers, psychologists, health officials, and humanitarian aid organizations - to heed pre-war mental health trends in Ukraine when supporting refugees.
